Crawfordsville Weekly Journal, Friday, February 8, 1918, page 3 Mrs. Melvina Morin Davis. (Contributed.) Melvina Morin Davis, wife of Charles Davis, was born in Sugar Creek township, Montgomery county, Sept. 2, 1866, and died January 13, 1918, her death being very sudden and unexpected. She was the daughter of Milton and Rachel Morin, deceased. In the fall of 1866 she became a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church of Kirkpatrick; and also a member of the Eastern Star lodge of Clarks Hill. She was united in marriage to Charles Davis August 27, 1890, and to this union two children were born, Florence and Haven, both of whom are living. She is also survived by two sisters, Mrs. Anna Peak and Mrs. William Herbon, and two brothers, Fielden and William T. Morin. Although Mrs. Davis had been seriously ill in the past few years of her life, death never troubled her, she had often remarked that if she were to pass away the next minute it would not worry her. Suddenly and peacefully death overcame her as she had always desired it should and could she but have asked “that there be no sadness of farewell when I embark.” One of her most intimate friends pays her this tribute that she found the greatest pleasure in giving, which proved as time went on. She was a devoted wife and mother, a kind neighbor and it seemed she found a place in her motherly heart for everyone. She never looked on the dark side of life and was always ready to sympathize with anyone in trouble. Mrs. Davis’ life has been one that when the summons came she silently wrapped the draperies of her couch about her and lay down to pleasant dreams. [Poem]

United Brethren weren't Dunkers or German Baptists.  UBs later joined up with Methodists.  German Baptists, Mennonites, Amish, and other forms of Anabaptists with German/Swiss/Dutch/Belgian heritage were just called "Brethren" as a group or Baptists until the English Baptists came into the same area.  Then they were called German Baptists for clarity. I have noted that, in the absence of a Lutheran, Reformed, or Brethren congregation, that German families coming into an area often joined a UB church.

I'll look for the book, Kathy. I love stuff like that -- I was a Sociology major. Oh, and I'm glad for the clarification that the little relishes were Penna Dutch. After reading your description, I looked up recipes for Spiced figs and pickles peaches. LOL! (see below) My book right now is called "Death in Early America. The History and Folklore of Customs and Superstitions of Early Medicine, Funerals, Burials and Mourning." By Margaret COFFIN. Ok, I thought it was funny. Published 1976; It's from the library. And it is not sad at all...it's just a compendium of things she and her folklore students have found all wrapped up in a book. Karen could write a book just like it for Montgomery Co, et al, based on Hap's Diaries, obits and gravestones, and patent medicine ads in the newspaper from the 19th century.

-----Original Message----- From: My Family History Sent: Wednesday, January 7, 2009 6:25 AM To: My_Family_History@msn.com Subject: Todd migrations...who knows what they were? Dad always said that we descended from Virginia. But, of which side of the family was he speaking? Gramma's Reynolds/Merritt side? Or the Todd side? We all came from Europe, though stories vary as to where. Dad said we were "The Scottish Todd's." I know that Scotland, Ireland, and England are all the same land mass, basically. So, who knows where the FIRST Todd's came from. Anyway, all would start out in America on the east coast, whether Virginia or not. Where would they have landed? Shucks, I don't know nothin' 'bout this migration stuff. Never done no studyin' on it. I do know that Todd's in Indiana came up from Kentucky, at some point. I know of the Todd's in Heltonville (named after Sally Helton's family, who married my gggrandfather, Thomas Todd.) The old "Mary Todd Lincoln era Todd's" are all buried in Gilgal Cemetery in Pleasant Run township there, all in Lawrence County, Indiana. Then Todds moved all around from that point. But, I would like to know about the migration of our line of Todds from Europe to America's east coast and when they moved to Indiana. Was it Scotland to Virginia to Indiana or was it all under the category, "How the Hell would I know?" Angela Frances Todd ("Angie")

You can google "pioneer migrations" + the 2 states in the search and you can come up with a map if you get curious. No guarantee *your* ancestors took that route, but I would think it would be a high probability. I use Google Images to get maps....way faster. I have seen migration handled on other USGenwebsites a couple different ways, but I think the best one is a simple table: A table with 4-5 columns. The surname and the place they came from and the extra boxes are where they stopped in between. The Werts would look like this: Name, county (if you are collecting from Putnam, Mont'y, Park and Fountain), the place they were before Montgomery Co, the place before that, the place they landed, and the country they originated from. If one doesn't know, they it is left blank. WERT, Henry Fountain Ohio, Hamilton , Colerain Ohio, Greene New Jersey Germany WERT, Richard Derrick Montg'y Ohio, Hamilton , Colerain (Blank) New Jersey Germany I hope this beautiful table comes out right in the listserve.
